6. Operating the camcorder
This section describes operating and adjusting the Action Camcorder.
6.1. Switching the camcorder on and off
To switch the camcorder on, hold down the on/off button on the top for approx. 3
seconds, until the monitor lights up. Press the on/off button again to turn the
camcorder off again. If the Action Camcorder is not operated for over 5 minutes, the
device will automatically turn itself off to save power. Likewise, the camcorder
automatically switches off once the battery charge level gets too low. In this case the
battery symbol is displayed on the monitor before switching off.
While a video is being recorded the camcorder monitor will switch off after a while to
save power. The recording then keeps running, the operation LED lights up red. Briefly
press the on/off button to switch the monitor back on.
6.2. Setting the shooting mode
You can select one of the three following shooting modes using the mode switch on
the side:
[
] Photo mode: For taking individual photos.
[
] Video mode: For making continuous video recordings. The recording only
stops automatically when the memory card is full or the battery is flat.
[
] Vehicle mode: Continuous video recording, stored in individual files of 5
minutes each. Once the memory card is full, the oldest video files are deleted.
